00:03:53
In Zimbabwe
00:03:54
a day leader of the main opposition Movement
for Democratic Change has again said
00:03:58
solving the country's economic problems
rests on 1st dealing with the country's
00:04:02
current political impasse now seem to me
sad reiterated that he won last year's
00:04:07
presidential election not President Emerson
and his State of the Nation Address on
00:04:13
Tuesday this week President Nagar go up
leader for time and patience to bring the
00:04:18
country struggling economy back from the
dead but in this is clear save interview
00:04:23
with lessons in lieu of using Baba Service
says president failed to articulate
00:04:29
solutions to Zimbabwe's many problems we
would expect under the circumstances where
00:04:35
we are sure that you don't have it that
there will be an action quickly to take you
00:04:39
live in one of the solutions our
electricity any. Almost impossible to fix
00:04:46
school fees and transport costs.
Going up in the shops I don't
00:04:52
choose to do with them sure the deal is
around issues to do with this economy they
00:04:58
have said that people are rude but not
finally on the political challenges that
00:05:03
have to be sorted out in this country
recedes easy to criticize what. The m.d.c.
00:05:08
Offered any state of the Nation address
that does not speak to the kind of
00:05:12
direction the kind of human rights
abuses issues to do do come
00:05:16
a company he knows they are ducking in the
2nd to found his house issues that do
00:05:22
not and this what happened to going into
one of our you know artists who has also
00:05:27
abducted m.d.c.
00:05:29
Activists the limits of Parliament will be
allowed to state the political situation
00:05:33
that is that you are a team of issues
to do with I have to take us into
00:05:37
a state that our country's kindly is
00:05:40
a 3rd of the national interest which is
actually not indicating where the country
00:05:45
is going to think it was I when I was
giving us the state of the mind is the
00:05:49
looking and I think State of the nation in
his mind is clearly showing that this is
00:05:53
one of these damn well there is chaos and
there is no solution we have stayed the
00:05:59
political crisis in this country you can
only be sorted out when we have results
00:06:04
the quality for what it is politics stupid
and killing unless we are resolved to
00:06:10
find I mean the usual reaching
00:06:12
a national consensus on why the problems
are will not move forward legitimacy
00:06:17
legitimacy legitimacy that can never be
economic reconstruction until we are able
00:06:22
to come together and say this is the little
hard problem and this is the national
00:06:27
consensus as to the answer to the problem
but your critics are saying you and me.
00:06:34
Are talking over each other you are all
saying you want dialogue back to why is it
00:06:39
not happening why you know taking the lead
to engage him it takes 2 to tango I can
00:06:44
force me some and I'm going to argue that
what I have told him that the problem
00:06:49
that needs to be resolved
is a political problem is
00:06:52
a quest political player actors the people
of the member who takes in July or 20000
00:06:59
they indicated their broad pre-print we won
the election invited and that is beyond
00:07:05
and dispute. Because you know court the
court decided otherwise because you know
00:07:11
the court and that is were taken away
from the determination of the people that
00:07:16
will create some. Is
00:07:20
a live. Look at this election
and in this election. The
00:07:27
reason why we should begin. Now since I
mean size the president of Zimbabwe's main
00:07:31
opposition Movement for Democratic Change

00:08:10
not contravene and Ugandan
law. And here live.
00:08:23
On. The political way.
00:08:31
Until we have tried to
find or I'm going to crack
00:08:34
a lot. I want to single out and
00:08:41
unite. Very very distinct.
00:08:52
People. Talk about the marks and over.
00:09:02
Any not people. Who have
been behaving sensibly by.

00:10:21
and doctors. Saying. That they.
00:10:32
Backed by. Some points
to do. Exactly that.
00:10:40
And then. A couple of.
00:10:51
People should. Go to the. Full command.
00:10:59
Fall. Over that it's like saying that it
00:11:06
should. Those in your news is the spokesman
for Ugandan parliament to remember all
00:11:11
the winds people power movement he was
speaking with us from the capital come Pala
00:11:16
You're listening to daybreak Africa and
the Voice of America I'm James ability in
00:11:20
Washington to this Thursday October 3rd the
break Africa time it's 14 minutes past
00:11:26
the hour an official of the Liberian
diaspora in the United States is calling on
00:11:31
President George Weah to kill
00:11:33
a dual citizenship bill that is are waiting
his signature because he said it is not
00:11:38
in the development interest of Liberia
both houses of the Liberian legislature
00:11:43
passed
00:11:44
a dual citizenship bill this week according
to the bill and it promising whose
00:11:49
parent was a citizen of Liberia I did
time of that person's birth shall be
00:11:53
a natural born citizen of Liberia
the bill goes on to say not true
00:11:58
a born citizen of Liberia may hold the
citizenship of another country more shall
00:12:03
not qualify for elect oppositions in Liberia
we had 0 is the National Stuttering of
00:12:09
the Unio of Liberia associations
in the Americas. Appearance
00:12:15
Yes corrupt. Country or why on
the contrary it struck during
00:12:22
economically it depends on
00:12:24
a brilliant and professional call living
entity ask around I'm going to call him
00:12:31
stripping all the pollution in government
and system will correct I mean
00:12:37
it's happening I think after what happened
to us could see us to contribute.
00:12:47
A lot to have
00:12:48
a country from the Arctic I don't know
maybe this is how people in Liberia the
00:12:54
bigger the legislators are responding to
their constituencies the view there is
00:12:59
that perhaps Liberians in the diaspora you
only go back to Liberia and they claim
00:13:05
that when you go back you're taking away
jobs their. Area in the area here and from
00:13:12
what I. Feel. The people to
understand why it's transpiring.
00:13:20
Poll in the sound. Be
it. People knock one up
00:13:27
on the signs and suckle let the
country pick up a cell wall to
00:13:32
a puppet to the man it is hard. Being
the truth and Mr POTUS I guess you have
00:13:39
objection to the point that natural
born citizen of Liberia may hold the
00:13:45
citizenship of another country where you
shall not qualify elected positions
00:13:50
a doctor when you think that your concern
about for the far I'm not happy I'm
00:13:55
concerned that there is.
Decay in the. Country at
00:14:02
this time in its history it is not only
jobs and sector it's all being. Sucked.
00:14:10

Some restrictions here under this law is
not yet law the got Prez then we are now
00:14:23
has to sign it into law in. The sun because
while I want to see you there ought to
00:14:30
be
00:14:30
a good call on the president
of the. Field of. People
00:14:39
then it is not in the. Government and
it is not in the best interest of the
00:14:44
immigrant people it's something which
is. And what I'll say press was always
00:14:50
a luxury would be used up its movement
when on aspects of developmental delays
00:14:58
caused me to see black truck bomb was
critical. To people or your country
00:15:06

we can be competitive we can be what
Mexico is tonight its face in terms of car
00:17:42
manufacturing. And the idea here is
that we have succeed to convince those
00:17:48

that unit in the world and around them we
00:17:53
have set difference would be called o.e.m.

00:18:01
we have very good and well known

00:18:08
And. Know and the other one and. There's
also gun manufacturers in Europe among
00:18:15
its advance and. That's free trade
agreements with to European Union and the
00:18:22
United States and several other countries
so it can import and export goods and
00:18:27

either tree in Washington women have made
00:18:34
huge strides aimed to nation politics
since the country's 2011 revolution and
00:18:40
hoping to make further progress towards
gender of poverty and legislative elections
00:18:45
this Sunday but building or even
sustaining the earlier games may be
00:18:50
a problem as Lisa Bryan reports from Tunis.
It's hard to Miss America she washee
00:18:57
this election season she appears widely in
the media as books person for the heart
00:19:03
of Tunisia party headed by jailed presidential
candidate not be able Cairo but she
00:19:09
washee is also running her own race in
Sunday's parliamentary vote heading the
00:19:14
party's Tunis area list it's been
00:19:17
a long wrote getting here you would
be fun to see there used to be
00:19:22
a political quota for women before the
revolution but they weren't always the right
00:19:27
ones for the job now it's much more about
competence you have to fight within your
00:19:32
party to be
00:19:32
a leader so we don't have any difficulty.
Of course and women candidates but.
00:19:41
The party's very has had novelists that's
the 5 Tunisian women have long enjoyed
00:19:46
rights are rarely seen elsewhere in the
Arab world they captured nearly half of all
00:19:51
seats in last year's mean yes Apolo elections
and they make up nearly one 3rd of
00:19:56
Tunisia's current parliament
compared to just one 5th in the u.s.
00:20:01
Congress one big reason laws requiring
parity and party lists 2 women also ran for
00:20:07
president this year the capital Tunis
has its 1st ever female mayor for. The
00:20:12
moderate Islamist l not
00:20:14
a party but women had less than 10 percent
of ill not as less for these legislative
00:20:19
there's no parity when it comes to ranking
and the party says it's hard to find
00:20:24
good candidates I'm happy honestly with
the percent would like to do more and
00:20:29
hopefully in the future or getting women
out to vote is another challenge many are
00:20:34
disappointed with post-revolutionary
politics people are losing hope and they are
00:20:40
not. Involved they don't like to have
another bad experience but she was she
00:20:47
believes there's no going back to new
friends are now comfortable electing women
00:20:52
representatives even if they
may not yet be ready for
00:20:55
a female head of state
Lisa Bryant for v.o.a.

off women in Kenya aged between 15 to

largely China for you and hearing so that

00:23:46
a good move for many poor countries to be

As international edition I'm Lori London
in Washington coming up President Trump
00:27:39
rages against Democrats and
00:27:41
a whistle blower who triggered an impeachment
inquiry. Should be forced to resign
00:27:47
a solemn remembrance for murdered Washington

00:27:52
Debbie Harry lead singer of the
sex tete Blondie is out with

a very personal new memoir it's all
on today's international edition.
00:28:12
During a news conference with
Finland's president u.s.
00:28:16
President Donald Trump said Joe and Hunter
Biden should be investigated hours after
00:28:22
the president described him as a
stone cold Crooked Man Joe Biden
00:28:27
a leading Democratic contender in the 2020
race for the White House are valid on
00:28:31
Wednesday that Trump will not destroy him
the back and forth came as Trump 1st and
00:28:37
series of tweets and then at several
news conferences angrily denounced the
00:28:42
impeachment inquiry concerning
00:28:43
a July call in which trump ask Ukraine's
president to investigate Biden and his son
00:28:49
who served on the board of
00:28:51
a Ukrainian company while his father was
vice president should resign from office
00:28:56
in disgrace and frankly they should look
at him for treason because he is making up
00:29:01
the words of the president of the United
States not only words but the meaning and
00:29:06
it's
00:29:06
a disgrace and should not be allowed to
happen and that he was referring to House
00:29:11
Intelligence Committee chair Adam Schiff
who is spearheading the investigation
00:29:18
shifts later responded to the
president's calls our act calm. Ments
00:29:25
and said that refusal to turn over documents
and block witnesses from testifying
00:29:30
will be considered accusations that
are correct any action like that that
00:29:36
forces us to litigate or have to consider
litigation will be considered further
00:29:42
evidence of obstruction of justice and of
course that was an article of ph meant
00:29:46
against Nixon the obstruction of lawful
functions of Congress that is. Trump also
00:29:53
took aim at the whistleblower himself who
is protected by law from retaliation
00:30:00
I don't care that I think
00:30:01
a whistleblowers should be protected if
the whistleblowers legitimate. Shift took
00:30:07
the president to task for those
comments as well this is
00:30:11
a blatant effort to intimidate witnesses
it's an incitement to violence. And
00:30:18
I would hope and we're starting to see
members of both parties speaking out against
00:30:23
attacking this whistleblower others that
have pertinent information now joining us
00:30:27
to talk about all of the events on
Wednesday regarding the president and the
00:30:32
impeachment inquiry it's a fast moving
and unprecedented situation feeling
00:30:37
a White House bureau chief Steve Harmon
joins us Steve what what stood out to you
00:30:43
perhaps Laurie the most significant was
when the president was asked if he would
00:30:50
cooperate with the requests that are
coming from the Democrat controlled House
00:30:56
which is conducting this impeachment inquiry
which ones documents from the White
00:31:00
House and is threatening subpoenas and
although the president complained saying
00:31:05
that Speaker Pelosi is passing out subpoenas
like their cookies he said that he
00:31:10
always cooperates so that was
00:31:13
a very significant indication although
others in the administration of course are
00:31:18
fighting this quite strongly
contending that this is
00:31:21
a violation of separation of powers in his
in his overreach by the congressional
00:31:25
committees he also said some as we heard
in the clip some pretty strong accusations
00:31:31
against House Intelligence Committee chair
Adam Schiff right and Schiff is the
00:31:37
Democrat who is essentially the point man
now appointed by Speaker Pelosi on this
00:31:43
impeachment inquiry in the Oval
Office the president called Shift
00:31:47
a low life said he should resign from
office in disgrace and Frank. They should
00:31:52
look at him for treason again
00:31:54
a very harsh and threatening words
from the president who is upset with
00:31:58
a reading of the call memo that the chef
recited in Congress recently of course
00:32:05
that July 25th call between President Trump
and the leader of Ukraine as really now
00:32:11
at the center of this whole impeachment
inquiry the president also indicated that
00:32:17
he wants to which we already have been
hearing target people involved with the
00:32:22
beginning of the Russia investigation
into the 26000 election yes the president
00:32:27
threatening to sue people of course the
President Trump both before and during his
00:32:33
time in office has frequently threatened
the lawsuits which never do appear so I
00:32:38
don't know how much to make of that but
again what was at the heart of this phone
00:32:43
call with Selenski on July 25th and sending
off his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani
00:32:49
to Ukraine is
00:32:51
a really an attempt which is based on
conspiracy theories to reverse the origin
00:32:58
of the Russia probe that led to the model
report and instead of blaming Russia
00:33:02
trying to blame the Democrats and elements
in Ukraine overall what is your take
00:33:09
away from the president
you've been covering him for
00:33:12
a long time you see him daily Where do you
think the president is right now with
00:33:18
all of this going on because it would
certainly seem that he's fired up he's angry
00:33:23
and he's fighting back but would this all
indicate some concern or worry for him
00:33:27
from Him Oh absolutely there appears to
be little doubt that this is impeachment
00:33:33
inquiry is quick to turn into
00:33:35
a formal impeachment and although there are
many Republicans and some in the White
00:33:41
House who feel that he can use
that as a badge of honor in
00:33:44
a sense to campaign on and and turn the
election next year into that sort of
00:33:49
referendum but this. It is
very serious and there is
00:33:54
a snowball rolling down the hill now in
Congress which is going to envelop all of
00:34:00
the White House in the coming weeks and
months and is going to distract the
00:34:05
president and most everyone in the West
Wing so we cannot overemphasize how serious
00:34:12
this is and every day something else
seems to drop and is going to result in
00:34:18
subpoenas and people going up on the Hill
like Secretary Pompei Oh and we're going
00:34:23
to see this week also
00:34:25
a number of people diplomats who are
connected to to Ukraine coming in to testify
00:34:31
and some of that could be damaging to the
president however Trump when he gets hit
00:34:37
comes out swinging and the
hill throw a lot of punches
00:34:40
a lot of them will miss but sometimes
they tend to connect and they do resonate
00:34:45
with his base and that's what this is all
about he just needs to maintain his base
00:34:51
in the eyes of the Republican strategists
to get re-elected and all of this could
00:34:57
indeed energize this base so
00:34:59
a lot of Democrats will also
acknowledge that this really is
00:35:02
a double edged sword he seems to be telling
his base don't believe what you seeing
00:35:06
here in the news and just
believe what I say and
00:35:09
a lot of them do right so they have
00:35:12
a tremendous distrust in the mainstream
media they believe when the president tells
00:35:17
them that what is being reported
by reputable news organizations is
00:35:21
a fake news and they read
00:35:23
a lot of things on the Internet and as has
been demonstrated some of that comes out
00:35:28
of Russia and reinforces this
narrative and the conspiracy theories
00:35:34
and is obviously very frustrating to
00:35:37
a lot of mainstream reporters but that's
the environment that we're in currently
00:35:41
that's for you know a White House p.r.
00:35:43
Chief Steve Herman Meanwhile the
president's personal attorney who is not
00:35:47
a member of the administration is also in
potential legal peril for his role in all
00:35:54
of this and for that part of the
story we're joined by Robert diets
00:35:57
a professor of governmental affairs at
George Mason University he's sharp School of
00:36:02
Policy and government. Why is his attorney
not making sure that he's not coming on
00:36:08
the public and saying things that could
further incriminate himself or are or is
00:36:13
there some other strategy here that we're
not seeing you know I don't think so I
00:36:16
find it surprising and I think almost any
lawyer would tell you that his or her 1st
00:36:21
responsibility is to make sure that his her
client stays out of trouble and I just
00:36:26
find it ironic that the Moeller report which
you know tended to be quite temperate
00:36:30
more tempered than the Democrats had
hoped it would be but certainly quite
00:36:34
temperate you know he followed the morning
of the Justice Department regulations
00:36:38
and guidelines about indicting
00:36:39
a sitting president he laid out all the
possible ways that the that the President
00:36:45
obstructed justice but didn't reach
00:36:47
a conclusion and he concluded that there
was not enough evidence to show a
00:36:53
a conspiracy among the the campaign folks
to obtain information from the Russians
00:36:59
so right after the president dodges that
bullet within a couple of months he's on
00:37:04
a phone call to the Ukrainian president
encouraging him to quote do me
00:37:10
a favor and then of course Mr Giuliani is
sent to meet with various officials to
00:37:15
Ukraine and I think he met that
with them in Paris and I think
00:37:19
a majority but in any event why would
00:37:21
a Royer whose client has just gone through
this near death experience not to say to
00:37:27
his client look this was
00:37:29
a really close call let's count our lucky
stars but please don't call any other
00:37:36
Presidents ask him to do you
00:37:38
a favor but it seems from all indications
that Mr Giuliani actually put the whole
00:37:44
idea into the President's head about this
conspiracy about Joe Biden and his son
00:37:50
and was encouraging it you may well be
right but what's not clear is that whether
00:37:55
Mr Giuliani suggests the president
the actually raised this in
00:37:59
a phone call with the president of Ukraine
in other words he could have been saying
00:38:03
yeah. You know Joe Biden is corrupt and all
that but without going so far as saying
00:38:08
and by the way raise this it's
00:38:10
a little confusing because Mr Giuliani is
his personal attorney so if he's working
00:38:15
for the president on a
personal basis isn't there
00:38:18
a conflict there if he's also doing
national security business or that's on
00:38:23
a clear presidents have often had people
on the side whom they consulted with but I
00:38:29
don't think that that's really the
core of the problem there really isn't
00:38:32
a conflict there is always concern that
that the that the private counsel in this
00:38:37
case Mr Giuliani is going to get crosswise
with government officials meeting people
00:38:42
in the State Department apparently that has
happened several House committees have
00:38:47
subpoenaed Mr Giuliani for documents Yes
What happens if he does not comply well
00:38:53
there are sort of 2 ways to go the
traditional way is go to court and get
00:38:56
a court order Mr Giuliani is going to claim
attorney client privilege and that may
00:39:01
hold because he is
00:39:02
a private attorney the other way drug Kone
in ways send the Capitol police out to
00:39:08
arrest him and detain him until he
provides these subpoena materials that's
00:39:14
effectively a kind of
00:39:15
a civil that is affectively what's called
in the in the judicial world civil
00:39:20
contempt All right Robert diets Professor

a local college where job placement is 100
percent Vo is Julie Tabo traveled to the
00:49:44
fast developing coastal city to see how
students and faculty at this unique college
00:49:49
meet
00:49:49
a growing and urgent need. Alex

Stephen found Sally prefers working with
wood but all are enjoying the hands on
00:50:09
aspect of a special school in South
Carolina I saw the school on a t.v.
00:50:14
Show and my thought was Well I wish I had
known about this 10 years ago when I was
00:50:19
actually looking at schools
and I decided to just make
00:50:22
a change and come here. The school is the
American College of the building arts and
00:50:28
the historic city of Charleston. Which
offers students and tense hands on training
00:50:34
in traditional European craftsmanship. It
was created after Hurricane Hugo ripped
00:50:41
through this coastal city and 989 disjoin
countless homes and historic buildings.
00:50:49
In the aftermath there was an urgent need
for experienced artisans who knew how to
00:50:53
rebuild the city but there wasn't enough
and. So it was a perfect opportunity for
00:50:59
a traditional building arts school which
is the 1st and only 4 year college in the
00:51:03
country to offer such a program it's
different and unique because we have blended
00:51:09
a liberal arts education you know the
critical thinking aspect of that with
00:51:13
a shill shot that we teach with
6 different skilled areas. That
00:51:19
a student leaves here with the art and the
science of either preservation quality
00:51:24
construction and
00:51:25
a skill to be able to do it when they
leave here. Students also work off
00:51:32
campus on local community thought.
At this backyard garden and
00:51:38
a residential area choose a building
00:51:40
a children's play house using all natural
materials. So we're building with
00:51:45
a method call ranter which is
00:51:47
a sustainable building method that
goes back 7000 years the classes. Is
00:51:53
a hands on building course
where we try to get back to
00:51:57
a community President Broadwater says that
sense of community is important to the
00:52:02
college we touch so many places and so many
people public projects that enhance the
00:52:07
beauty of the shooting or state the
students are proud of actually producing
00:52:12
something that's why they came here and
show they can sit there and say I've made
00:52:17
that. Very. Simeon Warren
has been teaching of
00:52:23
a college for 18 years you're working on
250 year old man of. The volume worth of
00:52:29
that means you don't want to
make any. The state so worth for
00:52:34
a person I think good to actually know
that their work is going to survive.
00:52:41
Hundreds of euro. Perhaps that's why so
many of the students are getting job offers
00:52:47
even before they graduate. Leave Yarbrough
has been working at this historic
00:52:52
cemetery helping to restore and stabilize
several crumbling tombstones I actually
00:52:57
already got
00:52:58
a job offer last week. And here is like let
me know if anyone else is interested in
00:53:04
hiring here because I'll
be competitive so there's
00:53:06
a lot of opportunities after this. 30
years after Hurricane Hugo Charleston is
00:53:12
thriving. But should disaster strike again
members of its artisan community are
00:53:18
well prepared. Values

00:05:29
Activists the limits of Parliament will be
allowed to state the political situation
00:05:33
that is that you are a team of issues
to do with I have to take us into
00:05:37
a state that our country's kindly is
00:05:40
a 3rd of the national interest which is
actually not indicating where the country
00:05:45
is going to think it was I when I was
giving us the state of the mind is the
00:05:49
looking and I think State of the nation in
his mind is clearly showing that this is
00:05:53
one of these damn well there is chaos and
there is no solution we have stayed the
00:05:59
political crisis in this country you can
only be sorted out when we have results
00:06:04
the quality for what it is politics stupid
and killing unless we are resolved to
00:06:10
find I mean the usual reaching
00:06:12
a national consensus on why the problems
are will not move forward legitimacy
00:06:17
legitimacy legitimacy that can never be
economic reconstruction until we are able
00:06:22
to come together and say this is the little
hard problem and this is the national
00:06:27
consensus as to the answer to the problem
but your critics are saying you and me.
00:06:34
Are talking over each other you are all
saying you want dialogue back to why is it
00:06:39
not happening why you know taking the lead
to engage him it takes 2 to tango I can
00:06:44
force me some and I'm going to argue that
what I have told him that the problem
00:06:49
that needs to be resolved
is a political problem is
00:06:52
a quest political player actors the people
of the member who takes in July or 20000
00:06:59
they indicated their broad pre-print we won
the election invited and that is beyond
00:07:05
and dispute. Because you know court the
court decided otherwise because you know
00:07:11
the court and that is were taken away
from the determination of the people that
00:07:16
will create some. Is
00:07:20
a live. Look at this election
and in this election. The
00:07:27
reason why we should begin. Now since I
mean size the president of Zimbabwe's main

a country from the Arctic I don't know
maybe this is how people in Liberia the
00:12:54
bigger the legislators are responding to
their constituencies the view there is
00:12:59
that perhaps Liberians in the diaspora you
only go back to Liberia and they claim
00:13:05
that when you go back you're taking away

a long wrote getting here you would
be fun to see there used to be
00:19:22
a political quota for women before the
revolution but they weren't always the right
00:19:27
ones for the job now it's much more about
competence you have to fight within your

party to be
00:19:32
a leader so we don't have any difficulty.
Of course and women candidates but.

00:20:24
good candidates I'm happy honestly with
the percent would like to do more and
00:20:29
hopefully in the future or getting women
out to vote is another challenge many are

As international edition I'm Lori London
in Washington coming up President Trump
00:27:39
rages against Democrats and
00:27:41
a whistle blower who triggered an impeachment
inquiry. Should be forced to resign
00:27:47
a solemn remembrance for murdered Washington
Post journalist Also ahead singer
00:27:52
Debbie Harry lead singer of the
sex tete Blondie is out with
00:27:56
a very personal new memoir it's all
on today's international edition.
00:28:12
During a news conference with
Finland's president u.s.
00:28:16
President Donald Trump said Joe and Hunter
Biden should be investigated hours after
00:28:22
the president described him as a
stone cold Crooked Man Joe Biden
00:28:27
a leading Democratic contender in the 2020
race for the White House are valid on
00:28:31
Wednesday that Trump will not destroy him
the back and forth came as Trump 1st and
00:28:37
series of tweets and then at several
news conferences angrily denounced the
00:28:42
impeachment inquiry concerning
00:28:43
a July call in which trump ask Ukraine's
president to investigate Biden and his son
00:28:49
who served on the board of
00:28:51
a Ukrainian company while his father was
vice president should resign from office
00:28:56
in disgrace and frankly they should look
at him for treason because he is making up
00:29:01
the words of the president of the United
States not only words but the meaning and
00:29:06
it's
00:29:06
a disgrace and should not be allowed to
happen and that he was referring to House
00:29:11
Intelligence Committee chair Adam Schiff
who is spearheading the investigation
00:29:18
shifts later responded to the
president's calls our act calm. Ments
00:29:25
and said that refusal to turn over documents
and block witnesses from testifying
00:29:30
will be considered accusations that
are correct any action like that that
00:29:36
forces us to litigate or have to consider
litigation will be considered further
00:29:42
evidence of obstruction of justice and of
course that was an article of ph meant
00:29:46
against Nixon the obstruction of lawful
functions of Congress that is. Trump also
00:29:53
took aim at the whistleblower himself who
is protected by law from retaliation
00:30:00
I don't care that I think
00:30:01
a whistleblowers should be protected if
the whistleblowers legitimate. Shift took
00:30:07
the president to task for those
comments as well this is
00:30:11
a blatant effort to intimidate witnesses
it's an incitement to violence. And
00:30:18
I would hope and we're starting to see
members of both parties speaking out against
00:30:23
attacking this whistleblower others that
have pertinent information now joining us
00:30:27
to talk about all of the events on
Wednesday regarding the president and the
00:30:32
impeachment inquiry it's a fast moving
and unprecedented situation feeling
00:30:37
a White House bureau chief Steve Harmon
joins us Steve what what stood out to you
00:30:43
perhaps Laurie the most significant was
when the president was asked if he would
00:30:50
cooperate with the requests that are
coming from the Democrat controlled House
00:30:56
which is conducting this impeachment inquiry
which ones documents from the White
00:31:00
House and is threatening subpoenas and
although the president complained saying
00:31:05
that Speaker Pelosi is passing out subpoenas
like their cookies he said that he
00:31:10
always cooperates so that was
00:31:13
a very significant indication although
others in the administration of course are
00:31:18
fighting this quite strongly
contending that this is
00:31:21
a violation of separation of powers in his
in his overreach by the congressional
00:31:25
committees he also said some as we heard
in the clip some pretty strong accusations
00:31:31
against House Intelligence Committee chair
Adam Schiff right and Schiff is the
00:31:37
Democrat who is essentially the point man
now appointed by Speaker Pelosi on this
00:31:43
impeachment inquiry in the Oval
Office the president called Shift
00:31:47
a low life said he should resign from
office in disgrace and Frank. They should
00:31:52
look at him for treason again
00:31:54
a very harsh and threatening words
from the president who is upset with
00:31:58
a reading of the call memo that the chef
recited in Congress recently of course
00:32:05
that July 25th call between President Trump
and the leader of Ukraine as really now
00:32:11
at the center of this whole impeachment
inquiry the president also indicated that
00:32:17
he wants to which we already have been
hearing target people involved with the
00:32:22
beginning of the Russia investigation
into the 26000 election yes the president
00:32:27
threatening to sue people of course the
President Trump both before and during his
00:32:33
time in office has frequently threatened
the lawsuits which never do appear so I
00:32:38
don't know how much to make of that but
again what was at the heart of this phone
00:32:43
call with Selenski on July 25th and sending
off his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani
00:32:49
to Ukraine is
00:32:51
a really an attempt which is based on
conspiracy theories to reverse the origin
00:32:58
of the Russia probe that led to the model
report and instead of blaming Russia
00:33:02
trying to blame the Democrats and elements
in Ukraine overall what is your take
00:33:09
away from the president
you've been covering him for
00:33:12
a long time you see him daily Where do you
think the president is right now with
00:33:18
all of this going on because it would
certainly seem that he's fired up he's angry
00:33:23
and he's fighting back but would this all
indicate some concern or worry for him
00:33:27
from Him Oh absolutely there appears to
be little doubt that this is impeachment
00:33:33
inquiry is quick to turn into
00:33:35
a formal impeachment and although there are
many Republicans and some in the White
00:33:41
House who feel that he can use
that as a badge of honor in
00:33:44
a sense to campaign on and and turn the
election next year into that sort of
00:33:49
referendum but this. It is
very serious and there is
00:33:54
a snowball rolling down the hill now in
Congress which is going to envelop all of
00:34:00
the White House in the coming weeks and
months and is going to distract the
00:34:05
president and most everyone in the West
Wing so we cannot overemphasize how serious
00:34:12
this is and every day something else
seems to drop and is going to result in
00:34:18
subpoenas and people going up on the Hill
like Secretary Pompei Oh and we're going
00:34:23
to see this week also
00:34:25
a number of people diplomats who are
connected to to Ukraine coming in to testify
00:34:31
and some of that could be damaging to the
president however Trump when he gets hit
00:34:37
comes out swinging and the
hill throw a lot of punches
00:34:40
a lot of them will miss but sometimes
they tend to connect and they do resonate
00:34:45
with his base and that's what this is all
about he just needs to maintain his base
00:34:51
in the eyes of the Republican strategists
to get re-elected and all of this could
00:34:57
indeed energize this base so
00:34:59
a lot of Democrats will also
acknowledge that this really is
00:35:02
a double edged sword he seems to be telling
his base don't believe what you seeing
00:35:06
here in the news and just
believe what I say and
00:35:09
a lot of them do right so they have
00:35:12
a tremendous distrust in the mainstream
media they believe when the president tells
00:35:17
them that what is being reported
by reputable news organizations is
00:35:21
a fake news and they read
00:35:23
a lot of things on the Internet and as has
been demonstrated some of that comes out
00:35:28
of Russia and reinforces this
narrative and the conspiracy theories
00:35:34
and is obviously very frustrating to
00:35:37
a lot of mainstream reporters but that's
the environment that we're in currently
00:35:41
that's for you know a White House p.r.
00:35:43
Chief Steve Herman Meanwhile the
president's personal attorney who is not
00:35:47
a member of the administration is also in
potential legal peril for his role in all
00:35:54
of this and for that part of the
story we're joined by Robert diets
00:35:57
a professor of governmental affairs at
George Mason University he's sharp School of
00:36:02
Policy and government. Why is his attorney
not making sure that he's not coming on
00:36:08
the public and saying things that could
further incriminate himself or are or is
00:36:13
there some other strategy here that we're
not seeing you know I don't think so I
00:36:16
find it surprising and I think almost any
lawyer would tell you that his or her 1st
00:36:21
responsibility is to make sure that his her
client stays out of trouble and I just
00:36:26
find it ironic that the Moeller report which
you know tended to be quite temperate
00:36:30
more tempered than the Democrats had
hoped it would be but certainly quite
00:36:34
temperate you know he followed the morning
of the Justice Department regulations
00:36:38
and guidelines about indicting
00:36:39
a sitting president he laid out all the
possible ways that the that the President
00:36:45
obstructed justice but didn't reach
00:36:47
a conclusion and he concluded that there
was not enough evidence to show a
00:36:53
a conspiracy among the the campaign folks
to obtain information from the Russians
00:36:59
so right after the president dodges that
bullet within a couple of months he's on
00:37:04
a phone call to the Ukrainian president
encouraging him to quote do me
00:37:10
a favor and then of course Mr Giuliani is
sent to meet with various officials to
00:37:15
Ukraine and I think he met that
with them in Paris and I think
00:37:19
a majority but in any event why would
00:37:21
a Royer whose client has just gone through
this near death experience not to say to
00:37:27
his client look this was
00:37:29
a really close call let's count our lucky
stars but please don't call any other
00:37:36
Presidents ask him to do you
00:37:38
a favor but it seems from all indications
that Mr Giuliani actually put the whole
00:37:44
idea into the President's head about this
conspiracy about Joe Biden and his son
00:37:50
and was encouraging it you may well be
right but what's not clear is that whether
00:37:55
Mr Giuliani suggests the president
the actually raised this in
00:37:59
a phone call with the president of Ukraine
in other words he could have been saying
00:38:03
yeah. You know Joe Biden is corrupt and all
that but without going so far as saying
00:38:08
and by the way raise this it's
00:38:10
a little confusing because Mr Giuliani is
his personal attorney so if he's working
00:38:15
for the president on a
personal basis isn't there
00:38:18
a conflict there if he's also doing
national security business or that's on
00:38:23
a clear presidents have often had people
on the side whom they consulted with but I
00:38:29
don't think that that's really the
core of the problem there really isn't
00:38:32
a conflict there is always concern that
that the that the private counsel in this
00:38:37
case Mr Giuliani is going to get crosswise
with government officials meeting people
00:38:42
in the State Department apparently that has
happened several House committees have
00:38:47
subpoenaed Mr Giuliani for documents Yes
What happens if he does not comply well
00:38:53
there are sort of 2 ways to go the
traditional way is go to court and get
00:38:56
a court order Mr Giuliani is going to claim
attorney client privilege and that may
00:39:01
hold because he is
00:39:02
a private attorney the other way drug Kone
in ways send the Capitol police out to
00:39:08
arrest him and detain him until he
provides these subpoena materials that's
00:39:14
effectively a kind of
00:39:15
a civil that is affectively what's called
in the in the judicial world civil
00:39:20
contempt All right Robert diets Professor

a deadly hurricane ripped through the
beautiful city of Charleston South Carolina
00:49:25
destroying many of its
historic homes and buildings
00:49:29
a shortage of skilled artisans meant
it took years to rebuild today
00:49:33
a generation of aspiring artists is
learning traditional building skills at
00:49:37
a local college where job placement is 100
percent Vo is Julie Tabo traveled to the
00:49:44
fast developing coastal city to see how
students and faculty at this unique college
00:49:49
meet
00:49:49
a growing and urgent need. Alex

Stephen found Sally prefers working with
wood but all are enjoying the hands on
00:50:09
aspect of a special school in South
Carolina I saw the school on a t.v.
00:50:14
Show and my thought was Well I wish I had
known about this 10 years ago when I was
00:50:19
actually looking at schools
and I decided to just make
00:50:22
a change and come here. The school is the
American College of the building arts and
00:50:28
the historic city of Charleston. Which
offers students and tense hands on training
00:50:34
in traditional European craftsmanship. It
was created after Hurricane Hugo ripped
00:50:41
through this coastal city and 989 disjoin
countless homes and historic buildings.
00:50:49
In the aftermath there was an urgent need
for experienced artisans who knew how to
00:50:53
rebuild the city but there wasn't enough
and. So it was a perfect opportunity for
00:50:59
a traditional building arts school which
is the 1st and only 4 year college in the
00:51:03
country to offer such a program it's
different and unique because we have blended
00:51:09
a liberal arts education you know the
critical thinking aspect of that with
00:51:13
a shill shot that we teach with
6 different skilled areas. That
00:51:19
a student leaves here with the art and the
science of either preservation quality
00:51:24
construction and
00:51:25
a skill to be able to do it when they
leave here. Students also work off
00:51:32
campus on local community thought.
At this backyard garden and
00:51:38
a residential area choose a building
00:51:40
a children's play house using all natural
materials. So we're building with
00:51:45
a method call ranter which is
00:51:47
a sustainable building method that
goes back 7000 years the classes. Is
00:51:53

a community President Broadwater says that
sense of community is important to the
00:52:02
college we touch so many places and so many
people public projects that enhance the
00:52:07
beauty of the shooting or state the
students are proud of actually producing
00:52:12
something that's why they came here and
show they can sit there and say I've made
00:52:17
that. Very. Simeon Warren
has been teaching of
00:52:23

that their work is going to survive.
00:52:41
Hundreds of euro. Perhaps that's why so
many of the students are getting job offers
00:52:47
even before they graduate. Leave Yarbrough

00:52:52
cemetery helping to restore and stabilize
several crumbling tombstones I actually
00:52:57
already got
00:52:58
a job offer last week. And here is like let
me know if anyone else is interested in
00:53:04
hiring here because I'll
be competitive so there's
00:53:06
a lot of opportunities after this. 30
years after Hurricane Hugo Charleston is
